Answer

Brief Explanations:

Sentence 4 contains an "appeal to authority" fallacy. Just because the Supreme Court has found something (not clearly defined here as the original passage's context is a bit off - the Supreme Court's finding related to book - banning isn't well - established in the given text) doesn't mean an individual can't have a valid argument. It wrongly assumes that the Supreme Court's (undefined) finding makes any individual argument invalid without proper reasoning.

Answer:

sentence 4
